The colorful adults and striped caterpillars are welcome visitors to backyards and gardens across the country. But did you know that the monarch you spot fluttering outside today might be about to embark on a migratory journey that will take them thousands of miles away?

Science & Religion
Many present day scientists think that religion can never come to terms with science. Studies of the relationship between religion and science have traditionally assumed that any conflict that exists is based on epistemology. This assumption is built into the history of Western academic thought, the founding of sociology itself, as well as the common definitions of religion used by social scientists.

Bioluminescent Plants
Imagine being able to add glowing plants to your plant collection. It sounds a bit crazy, but it’s actually a possibility because bioluminescent plants are the next big thing. We've seen a lot of houseplant trends come and go, but it seems like it's just the beginning for glow in the dark plants. “Bioluminescence is and always will be an eye-catching spectacle. Check out some of the glowing algae blooms in the ocean, some glowing fungi in our forests, or a swarm of fireflies on a nice summer night. Now imagine a garden that is self-illuminating at night. It’s true, you can't find bioluminescent plants in the wild, but being able to add some to your home is pretty special and a bit futuristic, too.

Life & Technology
Despite the high-profile nature of the current ‘digital divide’ debate, academic understanding of who is making little or no use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) remains weak. Indeed much of the discussion surrounding the digital divide has concentrated on the characteristics of those individuals who are using ICTs or, at best, simply pathologised the ‘have nots’ in terms of individual deficits. Yet developing a systematic and objective understanding of individuals’ non-use of new technologies constitutes a major challenge for those seeking to map and understand the social realities of the ‘information age’.

Camouflage
You can’t go against nature, you’ve to act according to it. The animal world is a perfect example of this saying. They try to cope up with the extremities coming to haunt them each day. To stand firm against the face of death and facing them with an open heart, is in their nature. Human beings always have something for their redressal. Animals don’t. They change themselves to live in this beautiful world. Camouflaging is one of the biological ways which helps them to survive in their animal world.

Animal Adaptations.
When the weather gets cold, you put on a coat to keep warm. If it’s hot, you wear a hat or fan yourself to cool down. Those are both ways of adapting to your habitat. While animals don’t have clothes, they do have built-in ways of keeping the right temperature and protecting themselves in the habitat they live in.

Bioluminescence In Animals
Bioluminescence is the production of light by a living organism via a chemical reaction. Bioluminescent animals are a wonder of nature. From the common firefly to deep-sea dwellers that are rarely seen by humans, the diversity of creatures that can emit light is astonishing.

Great Migration
The Great Migration as it is known is the movement of a million plus wildebeest from Serengeti in Tanzania northwards into the adjoining Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya. It is one of the world's most spectacular and thrilling displays of wildlife behavior. The migration takes place every year with the animal’s primal instincts guiding them towards greener pastures following the climatic rain fall patterns over the Serengeti-Maasai Mara eco system.
